In The Night Before Preschool, a little boy named Billy is so nervous he can't fall asleep. The friends he makes the next day at school give him a reason not to sleep the night, either: he's too excited about going back! This a book that will help sooth a child's fear of the first day of preschool.


I really like this book as a parent because it helps calms the fears of my children when they are heading to their first year of preschool. My kids loved the story and it calms some of the fears and make them excited. The illustrations in this book are AMAZING SAUCE. They are so colorful and really nice to draw a child's attention to the details of a classroom in the preschool setting.
